I have a TH350 (13 bolt Pan), While doing my rewire in the engine bay, I pulled a electrical plug from the trans. Don't know what year the trans is. Could this be converter lockout ? Did they come in 1971 GMC ? If so how do you wire it. What happens if its not hooked up ? Looking for info. Thanks

Re: My Transmission
It's the torque converter clutch, if you don't use it you will lose the converter lock up function which will cause reduced gas mileage.

Re: My Transmission
Torque convertor lockup on a 71? No, they didn't have locking torque convertors. None of the THM 350s did.

Re: My Transmission
In order to wire it up you will need a kit from B&M. Summit has tem for $190.

Re: My Transmission
You have a 350C transmission.

Re: My Transmission
Sounds like the plug for transmission controlled spark used as part of CEC system in 71. That would be the only wiring on a factory 71 TH350 installation. Might try the service manual ection 6T (71 and 72) for some more information, I just don't have the time now.
If you can post a picture I might be able to confirm it later for you. * VIN/Model Decoders * Power Team Charts (engine/transmission/gear ratio) * Post Your Pickup SPID Blazer SPID Suburban/Panel SPID * RTFM ... Read The Factory Manuals... download 'em here

Re: My Transmission
Thank you SS Tim, I think you hit the nail on the head. The picture shows the spot where the wire plugs in.
